[l2ulan]

Fair enough.

Out of interest could you share any info on the upgrade? Tank nerd after all.

[oppsijustkilledu]

Better look at the currently missing UFP add on

[DevilO6]

Ah yes, the 25.3 mm plate! Totally not 50 or something

[warhead_beast]

There are images of my sources linked in the bug report, they explain it better than my sleep deprived brain could currently :)

[DevilO6]

Funf fact, we cant see them

[warhead_beast]

Wait you can’t see sources linked in bug reports, why gajin why

Then wait a sec

And totally not rha, it’s so obvious it’s steal.

[DevilO6]

Looks like plastic to me, sorry it is a cardboard mockup, i gave a false info

[GothFemboyHooter]

I don’t know, the Russians are pretty good at fabricating armour as cardboard lol.

If it’s cardboard on our tanks it must be for nato tanks.

[DevilO6]

But their logs. 100mm of protection through 15mm diameter of wood

[John_Sneeeeeeeew]

Cardboard is more effective than the challengers era blocks in game

[warhead_beast]

Interesting thing that just came to my mind: British tested electrical armor against heat warheads

[DevilO6]

[warhead_beast]

Electromagnetic Reactive Armour

There also is a “plastic” warrior

Sorry for the spam
